Trustee Report Shows
LACK DAWN-
The trustees of the Ben E
Evans Student Loan fund recently
filed their 13th annual report with
the county court.
This fund is the bulk of the es­
tate of the late Ben E. Evans who
left the principal in the hands of
a board of trustees, with authority
to use the income for the pur­
pose of assisting worthy students,
living St and adjacent to the ci:
of Ashland, to obtain an education.
During the 13 years this fund
has been administered, 402 loan.;
have been made to 205 different
individuals. The total loan fund
now Is (18,118 00 The principal :

Considering the volume of k,a i
handled and that, in all cases, bor­
rowers are without employment ‘
the time the loans are made, the
trustees feel that the low per< ■ -
tage of loss indicates a high ratio
of integrity on the part of these
young students.
The board of trustees is com­
posed of the following: J. W.
McCoy, chairman; F. E. Engle a; .
G. H. Wenner.
